Oh gawd I just barfed in my mouth. The nipple is all that’s in proper focus. All that hair….ugh.
If I were shooting this, I would definitely make Dude wear a plain T-shirt – ie any colour at all, no slogans, artwork or stupid sayings on it – and ensure my focus was on the kids’ eyes. And shoot at more than f1.8. And make sure I got Dad to do more creative stuff than the trite shit going on here.
You guys are amazing. Overall the pic isn’t terrible technically, so what do you do? Take the mick out of a hairy nipple -which, OMG is part of the person, their body, the thing that makes them what they are. Because you guys are all perfect, and every photo of you makes you look like a Greek God?
And for the ‘nipple is the only thing in focus’ people…. erm, check out the fingers. I think you’ll find that’s where the focus is.
The pic isn’t that terrible…….. Look at the baby’s face ! Out of a whole session doing baby portraits, you’d really choose the one where the baby is looking as bored as can be ? As for the focus, wouldn’t you want to focus on the baby’s face, you know, what’s supposed to be the center of attention ? Really.

“One day, son, you too will have a hairy nipple. One day.”

If you look closely, you can see the image of that fur-choked obscenity reflected in the infant’s starry retina. And in his once-unblemished psyche.

Did anyone notice how the nipple is in focus and the rest of the man is not? EWE. So grossed out.

The baby’s eyes aren’t even in focus. I guess we are supposed to stare directly into the man-nipple.

Breastfeeding… you’re doing it wrong

Dad is teaching him how to breast feed and floss at the same time…

LOL

It’s really not a bad picture, if you don’t mind male nipples. So maybe it’s aimed at the non-prude, unamerican market.

Since when do “unamericans” like close-up shots of hairy nipples?
m man
Exactly. But then us westerners seem to only see the nipple as a sexual thing. This is precious, Dad and Baby, skin to skin.

Since when to westerners consider MALE nipples to be “sexual things”? I hear “unamericans” are somewhat more tolerant of hair, though.
I hate Fauxtography
I’d like that in a 16×20, only I want the blurry baby cropped out. Seriously!?!?
Call me Maisie
Yes by all means; focus on Daddy’s nipple, not the baby’s face. Perfect.

“the thing that makes them what they are”
I personally am not defined by my nipple.

You’re right, man. That cuticle bed is a ragged warzone. Gross.

the hairy nipple…gag….that’s the point….it’s hard to see much else.
